Pratibha Castle - Pushcart nominated Thank you for your feast of poetry, Pratibha!

It was intoxicating and nostalgic. What a feast of accents, and I enjoyed the way your Irish accent bloomed as you delved into your childhood.

Memorable metaphors, scintillating imagery linger.

What a great audience and group of open mic poets tonight on Speakeasy Online Poetry Night. Huge thanks to Bob and Sue and Becky for creating such a warm and welcoming poetry space and for inviting me to read.
